They also still use plastic cups (and then give you a paper straw lol)

Yup. The sheer volume of single-use waste our society generates - especially in the US - is ridiculous.

For literally seconds and minutes of use! While leaving pollution behind best measured in decades!

The paper straws are horrible, borderline unusable.

lol I don’t think your comment deserved to be killed, you’re right. Paper cups are just as un-usable without the plastic coating. Still the pollution is a high cost for the convenience of coffee to go. Maybe the best solution is to make sure everyone to have time to make coffee at home instead of going to a drive through Starbucks (drive through takes same amount of time really)

…Or be less addicted to sugar and caffeine.
